Custom vibration patterns

摘要

The present disclosure describes technology, which can be implemented as a method, apparatus, and/or computer software embodied in a computer-readable medium, and which, among other things, be used to create custom vibration patterns in response to user input, for example, in response to the user tapping out a desired pattern on the display of a mobile device. For example, one or more aspects of the subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in one or more methods that include receiving tactile input from a user of an electronic device specifying a custom vibration pattern, in concert with receiving tactile input, providing visual feedback to the user corresponding to the received tactile input, and storing the specified custom vibration pattern for use by the electronic device to actuate haptic feedback signaling a predetermined notification event.

主权项

1. A method performed by one or more processes executing on an electronic device, the method comprising:
receiving tactile input from a user of the electronic device, the tactile input comprising a pattern of tap events detected on a touch-sensitive surface of the electronic device; providing haptic and visual feedback, together at substantially the same time, to the user of the electronic device corresponding to the pattern of tap events entered during the receiving of the tactile input; associating a custom vibration pattern with the received tactile input; storing the custom vibration pattern for use by the electronic device; and signaling a notification event or alert to the user of the electronic device by actuating haptic feedback corresponding to the stored custom vibration pattern.
